Does it have to be their current home?
How about student accommodation?

Excluding picking people up from outside their houses, from memory:

Jeff Clayton (previous residence)
Matt & Heather
Jack & Josh Hurst (previous residence)
Anna Woodward

In theory, Loz (previous residence) as well.

I'm also proposing the game PIMPVOC (Passengers in my Private Vehicle off Countdown) for any car owners who have given lifts to Countdowners/apterites.

Wouldn't even know where to begin. Let's call it a million.

What's your tally of Countdowners Outside Co:Event Meet-ups (COCMEET)?

I was staying at Tom's for CoLeeds last year and we had a few bevvies, some at Bradford Spoons and some at Bingley Spoons. We were trying to convince Sophie to come on the razz with us in Bingley Spoons but she got shy and embarrassed about the thought of being seen with us (understandable) in a pub. (She was also 15 at the time so that might have been a factor.) So we decided to take the party to them, via the most disgusting hill you've ever seen (no but seriously, I was limping for 3 days because it had cocked up my leg muscles so much).

Turned up at their house sweating like a gorilla after walking up the hideous hill, but the Krol clan still let us in. So Tom and I were hangin with Mama, Papa and Joseph Krol in their lounge and Sophie eventually joined us and she was so shy but adorable!! I was a bit awkward because I had to tipsily filter what I was saying (#NoFilter) but also referring to in-jokes/gossip that Joseph wanted to know more about, when the details weren't necessarily parent-friendly. Joseph made a lot of references to how great Tim Farron was. Tom and Joseph made maths in-jokes. Sophie knew a lot of details of one of the soaps (might have been Coronation Street, but can't remember now) and got quite animated about it. We left at about midnight, although I couldn't find where Big Roman Krol had put my coat, which delayed our exit.

Stop dissing my endz, yo. You learn to love the hill after walking up and down it a couple of times a day.

So you basically groomed a young girl on the internet, pressured her into underage drinking and then turned up at her home for God-knows-what. Why don't you have a seat over there?

You'd struggle to find somewhere more disablist than Tom's student accom. His room is up 3 flights of stairs, and the bathroom is up another flight of stairs. #PrayForZ

Can now add to this - Matt Morrison and Heather Badcock (repeatedly), Graeme Cole, and, if he counts, David Stainer. Stainer can also now be counted towards my COCMEAT as I have met him four times, including once by mistake on Friday. As I was getting up to get off a train, I was fairly sure I saw him sitting in the carriage, reading a book. I had burned through the last of my mobile data earlier that day, so was on the train's own WiFi. I sent him a Facebook message saying, "are you sitting on a train reading [insert name of book] right now?" And then I got off the train. Of course, I forgot that getting off the train and the train pulling away meant a loss of data and thus communication. It turns out it was indeed him, but I was unable to read his response and reactions or explain why I had said what I said for a good 20 minutes until I found a BP garage with more free WiFi with which to explain myself. So basically I freaked him out a bit. My bad.

Was in Seattle for mate's wedding. Figured I should meet up with Jason, but all the places nearby were closed cause I was late getting back from taking down said wedding. Ended up chatting in his apartment for like 45 minutes.

Reviving this thread to add my score

*Kirk's student flat, 2005, before the Richard Whiteley memorial at York Minster

...And that's me done, unless you count Scrabble-related meet-ups, in which case my CHIBIN and CIMP scores would get boosted quite a bit with a few unique names.
